Eubank jr is featherfisted..

Got to agree ,, the way he was able to hit his opponent almost at will ,the other night , it should'nt off been left to the ref to stop it

I really don't think he has the power to keep the higher echolon from out boxing or even out brawling him

 

He is no killer puncher, I don't think any knowledgeable fans claim he is.

People who think that have been deceived by the run of opponents pre-BJS.

I still rate him though

 

Agreed, he and his father speak of this explosive power but I'm yet to see him hurt anyone of note. Even BJS who is very small for a MW wasn't properly shaken.

His evasiveness is very good and has a very 'different' quality. He should focus on that. Anyone else notice that he holds and hits a lot too? The ref didn't do anything about that or Chudinov so blatantly hitting the back of Eubank's head - disastrous

 

accumulation puncher, not 1 ko artist far from it

 

Far from a one punch ko puncher but he goes for the kill and has serious stamina, chudinovs face was a mess and was put in hospital , had Saunders looking rocky at the end of that fight too

 

:yep he definitely shouldn't be looking to ko everyone, because as he steps up he wont hurt anyone. so yeh should stick boxing and point scoring.

 

Might not be smooth enough, needs to improve on it but I think for the moment he should keep doin what he's doing. Be better to watch for us

 

Medium puncher imo, I think he can hurt and stop non-iron chinned MW's if he throws a real power punch and lands flush. Not a massive puncher, not feather-fisted either.

 

Eubank looked like a MW version of John Ruiz in there the other night. Lots of clinching, pushing, hitting/holding and general fouling, as long as he fights at home and avoids GGG, and the elite of the division he'll be able to win a lot of fights with his rule bending.

 

Only watched the fight once but he didn't seem to be really loading up and landing particularly flush that often to me, especially early in the fight. Later on both guys were tired so their punches lacked a bit of power. When Eubank Jr did hurt the guy, he covered up well plus the fight did actually end in a stoppage.

You can't come to a conclusion based on just a single fight. Khan survived against Maidana.

I think if you asked Euban Jr's opponents they would agree with me. Medium power, not a huge puncher, not feather-fisted.

 

His punches don't flow from his stance like some of the finest boxers do, he has an awkward flow to his work, maybe like a Carl Froch type flow in that they put a lot together at one time but not the cleanest or most stylistic. I think he is a good puncher but sometimes he puts too much in to it and doesn't catch cleanly. I think his swarming tactic is good for him and I don't think his defence in terms of blocking is good enough for him to be a boxer either. He has all the attributes to be a pressure fighter and he will be more successful doing that.

Also your statement of him being feather fisted is absolutely ridiculous!
